PUTRAJAYA, 19 March 2009: In a move to ensure that every community in the country has its own youth association, the Youth and Sports Ministry is organising a “One Community, One Association” programme to be launched in Petaling Jaya on 22 March.

Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob told reporters here this measure was being adopted because a study showed that participation of youths in organised activities helped to check social problems and misconduct among them and brought them closer to society.

“This programme is different in the sense that compared to the Rakan Muda programme it involved leadership and entrepreneurship,” he said. — Bernama
